Free Surface Fracture in Three Upsetting Tests

The results of three different upsetting tests on steel C1530 are presented. The die design is shown to have a marked effect on free surface fracture. A popular empirical ductile fracture criterion (Oyane's criterion) is assessed by means of the experimental data obtained and by a theoretical approach for determining the workability diagram from free surface fracture data. It is shown that the criterion is not appropriate for the material investigated. The range of free surface conditions where experimental fracture data are required for formulating an accurate fracture criterion is specified and a number of tests to create such conditions is proposed.

Determination of elastic-plastic stresses and strains from measured surface strain data

A rigorous approach founded in the fundamental principles of plasticity is used to develop an accurate numerical algorithm for the determination of stresses and elastic and plastic strains from total strain data measured on a structure surface. The approach used to develop the algorithm and its relationship to both the flow theory of plasticity and recent advances in tangent stiffness-based numerical solution procedures for elastic-plastic boundary value problems are presented. Verification of the method for plane stress problems is demonstrated. A discussion of how the method can be used with measured surface displacement data is proved.

The surface marker and micro cell method

A new method is presented for the simulation of two-dimensional, incompressible, free surface fluid flow problems. The surface marker and micro cell (SMMC) method is capable of simulating transient free surface fluid flow problems that include multivalued free surfaces, impact of free surfaces with solid obstacles and converging fluid fronts (including wave breaking). New approaches are presented for the advection of the free surface, the calculation of the tentative velocity, final velocity and pressure fields and the use of multivalued velocities to treat converging fluid fronts. Simulation results are compared with experimental results for water sloshing in a tank to demonstrate the validity of the new method. Convergence of the new method is demonstrated by a grid refinement study. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

混合式CRP面元法计算对比

目前,对于混合式CRP(contra-rotating propeller)的数值研究大部分是基于黏流方法,这主要是由于混合式CRP组成构件较多,运用势流方法求解存在一定的困难.但势流方法求解效率较高,在混合式CRP的设计方面,具有独特的优势.为建立混合式CRP的高效数值分析方法,从而为混合式CRP的设计工作奠定基础,研究首先将混合式CRP分成前桨和吊舱推进器两部分,以单个螺旋桨面元法和吊舱推进器整体面元法为基础,建立了混合式CRP的迭代面元法.随后对混合式CRP的几何结构以及桨叶面元奇点强度的变化特点进行分析,提出了将混合式CRP各构件进行整体计算的面元法,推导了整体面元法的计算公式.编译完成迭代面元法以及整体面元法的计算程序,并对混合式CRP的敞水性能进行了计算分析,两种面元法的计算结果与试验值的对比表明;迭代面元法与整体面元法计算得到的推力、扭矩系数相对误差均能控制在5%以内,但整体面元法的计算时间比迭代面元法节约1/3左右,同时整体面元法省去了迭代步骤,适宜于混合式CRP的设计.最后对研究中所建立的整体面元法的理论误差进行了分析.     

Advanced response surface method for mechanical reliability analysis

Based on the classical response surface method (RSM), a novel RSM using improved experimental points (EPs) is presented for reliability analysis. Two novel points are included in the presented method. One is the use of linear interpolation, from which the total EPs for determining the RS are selected to be closer to the actual failure surface; the other is the application of sequential linear interpolation to control the distance between the surrounding EPs and the center EP, by which the presented method can ensure that the RS fits the actual failure surface in the region of maximum likelihood as the center EPs converge to the actual most probable point (MPP). Since the fitting precision of the RS to the actual failure surface in the vicinity of the MPP, which has significant contribution to the probability of the failure surface being exceeded, is increased by the presented method, the precision of the failure probability calculated by RS is increased as well. Numerical examples illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of the presented method.     

Interface‐fitted moving mesh method for axisymmetric two‐phase flow in microchannels

A boundary‐fitted moving mesh scheme is presented for the simulation of two‐phase flow in two‐dimensional and axisymmetric geometries. The incompressible Navier‐Stokes equations are solved using the finite element method, and the mini element is used to satisfy the inf‐sup condition. The interface between the phases is represented explicitly by an interface adapted mesh, thus allowing a sharp transition of the fluid properties. Surface tension is modelled as a volume force and is discretized in a consistent manner, thus allowing to obtain exact equilibrium (up to rounding errors) with the pressure gradient. This is demonstrated for a spherical droplet moving in a constant flow field. The curvature of the interface, required for the surface tension term, is efficiently computed with simple but very accurate geometric formulas. An adaptive moving mesh technique, where smoothing mesh velocities and remeshing are used to preserve the mesh quality, is developed and presented. Mesh refinement strategies, allowing tailoring of the refinement of the computational mesh, are also discussed. Accuracy and robustness of the present method are demonstrated on several validation test cases. The method is developed with the prospect of being applied to microfluidic flows and the simulation of microchannel evaporators used for electronics cooling. Therefore, the simulation results for the flow of a bubble in a microchannel are presented and compared to experimental data.     

Flame Surface Density in Turbulent Premixed V-Flame with Buoyancy

A fractional step numerical model is established for turbulent premixed combustion with buoyancy. The flame front propagation is described by the level-set method. Simulated results without buoyancy have been previously validated with available experimental data on a premixed V-flame. A new formula is presented to fit the flame surface density with respect to the reaction progress variable in a turbulent premixed V-flame. By numerical simulations, dynamical behaviour of the flame under the interaction of turbulence, exothermicity and buoyancy are investigated.

Improved experimental tracking techniques for validating discrete element method simulations of tumbling mills

We report on further developments in the three-dimensional tracking of a particle deep within the tumbling ball charge of an experimental mill. The experimental X-ray program employing the use of bi-planar X-ray angiography now includes the tracking of a typical 6 mm bulk charge particle in three dimensions with a spatial resolution that is accurate to within 0.15 mm. The improved experimental tracking techniques presented were developed for the purpose of generating accurate three-dimensional particle trajectory data against which to validate a numerical method for the simulation of discrete media, namely the discrete element method (DEM). These improvements are complimented with techniques for comparing charge profiles between numerical DEM simulations and three-dimensional experimental trajectory data.

A hybrid finite-element–volume-of-fluid method for simulating free surface flows and interfaces

A numerical technique is developed for the simulation of free surface flows and interfaces. This technique combines the strength on the finite element method (FEM) in calculating the field variables for a deforming boundary and the versatility of the volume-of-fluid (VOF) technique in advection of the fluid interfaces. The advantage of the VOF technique is that it allows the simulation of interfaces with large deformations, including surface merging and breaking. However, its disadantage is that is solving the flow equations, it cannot resolve interfaces smaller than the cell size, since information on the subgrid scale is lost. Therefore the accuracy of the interface reconstruction and the treatment of the boundary conditions (i.e. viscous stresses and surface tension forces) become grid-size-dependent. On the other hand, the FEM with deforming interface mesh allows accurate implementation of the boundary conditions, but it cannot handle large surface deformations occurring in breaking and merging of liquid regions. Combining the two methods into a hybrid FEM-VOF method eliminates the major shortcomings of both. The outcome is a technique which can handle large surface deformations with accurate treatment of the boundary conditions. For illustration, two computational examples are presented, namely the instability and break-up of a capillary jet and the coalescence collision of two liquid drops.     

Load and Boundary Condition Calibration Using Full-field Strain Measurement

For critical load bearing structures, it is often necessary to experimentally determine the load distribution on the structure so that accurate finite element models can be developed for stress and fatigue life predictions. An inverse problem approach is presented here for computing or calibrating the loads and boundary conditions acting on a structure. This enables the creation of more accurate finite element models, especially for structures that have complicated load distribution and compliant boundary conditions. The method presented here involves minimizing the least square error between the strains computed using the finite element model and the strains and displacements obtained experimentally. The nodal loads and the compliance at fixed boundaries are treated as the variables in the optimization problem. The compliance is modeled as springs attached at the nodes that are on the boundary where the structure is restrained. The method is verified by computing the loads and boundary conditions when displacements, maximum shear strain or both are available at large number of points on the surface of the structure. The experimental data set was generated using the luminescent photoelastic coating (LPC) technique.     

An Analytical Solution for 1-D Non-Darcy Flow Through Slanting Coarse Deposits

In this paper, an analytical solution to solve 1-D partial differential equation is presented for fully developed turbulent flow through highly permeable sloping deposited porous medium. The present solution will be applicable for a wide range of slopes varying from zero to relatively steep slopes. To confirm the solution, the analytical results have been validated using two sets of experimental data including rounded and crushed material. To see the compatibility of solution, a Darcy-based form of the solution is derived and compared with proposed solution and experimental data. The results showed a satisfactory agreement with experimental records from water surface profiles through rock cavities for both rounded and crushed rock materials. Finally, it may be concluded that the proposed solution could be used to analyze water surface profiles and normal depth in such slanting permeable porous media. This solution provides a reliable realization of the flow profiles in porous materials which are widely used in open-channel flow concepts.
